I saw this last night with a few friends. It is 3 people recounting their experiences of depression, how they felt, what brought them to that point, how they got help. It might not sound like something you would class as 'entertaining' but it was done in a very engaging way and the audience was never left feeling bored or uncomfortable or lost. It's only on until Saturday and the tickets were a tenner each, definitely worth popping in to.

See Change presents Box of Frogs: A Revue of the Mind based on the authentic content of three people's real-life experiences to spark open conversation about mental health problems and challenge stigma in Ireland.

Three people on stage, happy, successful, gorgeous!!! But there’s one thing they have in common. Each of these people has now or at some time in their lives experienced the torment of mental health problems.

Box of Frogs is a revue based around the subject of mental health problems. In a mixture of stories, comedy sketches and songs the cast tell their own stories, de-mystifying, debunking and ultimately having a laugh with what really goes on inside our heads.

Box of Frogs is directed by Caroline FitzGerald and written by Isobel Mahon in collaboration with the cast Mary McEvoy, John Moynes, and Dil Wickremasinghe.
